When signal A is set in themanner be ore described the rack 43 will be drawn upwardly and wi ingpast brush 44 open an close line circuit-5 to ring a bel 45 includedin said circuit.

When the controller magnetcircuit is opened through "switch lever 12 the despatcher 5 manuallyrestores the miniature signal to safety position. 1 In order to set theminiature signals throughline circuit 5 I interpose in said line circuitpreferably at the 'despatcher soffice, a relay 52 the armature of whichis-normally attracted.
